Default Oil filter spinning with oil cooler...help!

I figure using a channel lock but its an aluminum piece so it might break. **** if using the channel lock doesn't work is there anything else i can do?

Damn AutoEuropa for not tightening the nut on the cooler enough. (had a fender bender before and they did the work on the oil pan, oil cooler, and IC.

Default Oh wow didin't know those things existed...but i manged to do it by jaming a screw driver..

in between the oil cooler and some metal and it worked...i guess it wasn't so much the oil cooler was loose as the oil filter was way overtightened.
